Sticky Note Cubes by Ilee

March 17, 2014 // kristen // 0 replies

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, and Happy St. Paddy’s Day! I don’t have anything leprechaun-themed for you today, but I do have these fun sticky note cubes from Ilee, one of which features gnomes on parade. Gnomes, leprechauns – they’re kind of similar, right?

Anywho, a sticky note cube is a godsend for anyone, myself included, who has a habit of jotting down quick notes and daily reminders for themselves. And these sweet, modern designs would be right at home on any office desk.

The World Made of Cardboard

May 02, 2011 // kristen // 8 replies

How amazing is this? Independent web designer and Paper Crave reader, Melody Chou, recently had the chance to work as part of a design team at Taiwan-based Medialand to create a mind-blowingly awesome paper project for their client, clothing company Giordano. The client had already been using cardboard in their promotional materials, and the team used the material to develop entire cities made of cardboard!

Taiwan, France, England, Italy, America, China, Japan, and Spain were all given the “cardboard treatment” as part of Giordano’s “Say Hi to the World!” concept, and I’m simply blown away by the detail in all of the cardboard creations.

It’s a cardboard double-decker bus!
